Understanding Flour Measurements
Weight vs. Volume
Professional bakers prefer weighing flour instead of using volume measurements for greater accuracy. Different types of flour have varying densities, and how tightly the flour is packed can affect volume measurements.
Tips for Accurate Measuring
- Fluff the flour with a whisk before measuring
- Spoon the flour into the measuring cup, don't scoop
- Level off with a straight edge
- Don't pack or tap the measuring cup
Common Conversions
- 1 cup = 16 tablespoons
